As a quick refresher, Ryzen AI Max processors (aka Strix Halo) comprise one or two core chiplets (CCDs) plus a huge input/output chiplet (IOD) that houses a pretty beefy GPU. It has 40 RDNA 3.5 compute units (2560 shaders), with 64 MB of Level 3 cache, and a unified memory bus that's 256-bits wide.

Dell, ASUS, Acer, HP, and Lenovo have partnered with AMD to launch new laptops with its latest AI-powered mobile chip this year.

AMD used CES 2026 to announce a new line-up of Ryzen AI processors to go up against Intel’s latest in thin-and-light laptops—and show how it’s fighting Nvidia in a new arena.

An early glimpse at the CPUs and GPUs powering the PCs of tomorrow. Here's a rundown of the chips we hope to see from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and Snapdragon at CES 2026.

AMD reveals the Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, which offers some higher speeds than the 9800X3D CPU and supports current motherboards.
